Maximum Impact Tours

Maximum Impact Tours has been created to encourage international and domestic travel experiences. Maximum Impact Tours was founded by entrepreneur, playwright, author, and philanthropist, Jay Cameron. Realizing that most of his life had been consumed working domestically, a trip to Africa changed his perspective. His experience transformed the way he saw traveling. As a result, he set out to encourage others to see the world through their own eyes and not only through the eyes of television and social media. You are invited to join Jay and his team on their adventures around the globe.

This was the best trip I have ever taken. The tour provided a great educational and inspirational experience. There was something to captivate the interest of the young and old. Jay and his crew were very professional and made every effort to accommodate individual and group needs. I will never forget this tour and I will always remember the individuals with whom I shared this great journey.
